Virtual PBX Featured Article

As ECT is gearing up to participate in this year’s SpeechTEK Conference 2011, the company will be reportedly featuring its cloud-based or virtual PBX services that will be present at the annual event from August 8-10, in New York.

A press release revealed that ECT will be at the show to address both carriers and service providers as to how they can offer cloud-based value-added services to their enterprise customers. Some of these services are network-based IVR, network-based contact center services, televoting and virtual PBX that can all offer fixed-mobile convergence.

“Our multi-service, multi-tenant technology enables carriers and service providers to replace multiple legacy platforms with different vertical services with just one platform for both TDM and IMS networks,” explains Giyora Leff, managing director of European Computer Telecoms, in a statement. “Getting rid of these legacy ‘island’ solutions is a major contribution towards improving cost-effectiveness both for operators and their enterprise customers, particularly when compared to costly enterprise equipment.”

In related virtual PBX news, Telfree, a provider of next generation communications, has just brought to market a brand new virtual PBX system called Office Connection that allows businesses to access information from anywhere at any time.

This virtual PBX solution can be utilized by either small businesses or large enterprises, and is perfect for organizations seeking an all-in-one affordable communication solution. The switchboard system that lives within Office Connection allows users to make and receive calls, and send and receive SMSes and faxes directly from one office number, from anywhere and at any time.
